Pattaya — Pattaya City officials are investigating sources of pollution in the Naklua canal following complaints from residents.

According to reports, residents submitted video clips to Pattaya City showing the canal’s water full of garbage, polluted water, and dead fish. Some citizens claimed that these toxic substances entered the canal via runoffs from industrial estates close by.

 

In response, Mr. Manoch Nongyai, Deputy Mayor of Pattaya City, led a team to the area on Wednesday, March 27th. They intended to discuss the issue with business operators and find solutions.

Stop dumping or go to jail... that would work

A crackdown on pollution to follow.

 

Not really, nothing will happen.

We used to have a nice river flowing through our village , kids could swim in it , and people fished it.

Then upstream a Pig farm processing plant opened up . It is huge.

Now the water has mostly gone , the silt ( pig 5h1t ) stands proud , the vegetation growing from it is horrendous.

I asked the Mrs why they didn't do something to stop this.

" Pig farm pay money to boss and police "
